Abstract

The X-ray source 3U 0614 + 09 is identified with a faint blue variable star resembling Sco X-1. A flare star is found in the field of the X-ray source 3U 1636 – 53 which is a promising candidate for identification. Results of searches for variable or infrared stars in the fields of four other X-ray sources are also given.
